FLSmidth wins CataMax contract

FLSmidth has won the order for CataMax(TM) catalytic solution filters in the U.S.

The CataMax(TM) catalytic solution uses ceramic elements with an embedded catalyst; the porous elements not only remove dust particles from the flue gases, but the catalyst embedded will also remove total hydrocarbons (THCs) and organic hazardous air pollutants (O-HAPs) in the flue gas.

"The CataMax(TM) catalytic solution is a patent-pending technology from FLSmidth, which will help U.S. cement producers to achieve compliance with the ever stricter environmental regulations. We are already seeing an increased interest in this technology from other customers in the U.S. as well as from customers in Europe and Asia where similar legislative restrictions are also expected in the future," says Jacob Sondergaard, Vice President, FLSmidth Airtech, part of FLSmidth's Product Companies Division.
